| 15:44.49 | brian_ | thank god i found this room, im in the middle of installing ubuntu onto my imac g5 ppc |
| 15:46.43 | brian_ | i dont k now what i did wrong the first time when i reboot everything loaded fine then it botted into a black screen |
| 15:47.17 | Bor_Ed_ | nvidia gfx? |
| 15:47.40 | brian_ | no clue its a 2003 imac g5 ppc |
| 15:47.50 | Bor_Ed_ | hmm, lessee |
| 15:48.32 | brian_ | thank \\\\\\i was able to put it into rescue mode and now im installin software and system,,its partitioning at the moment |
| 15:49.12 | Bor_Ed_ | no much change on getting decent gfx to it if it's http://www.apple-history.com/body.php?page=gallery&model=imac_g5§ion=h1&sort=family&performa=off&order=ASC this one |
| 15:49.57 | brian_ | ya its that one |
| 15:50.26 | brian_ | im not lookin for a gaming pc just somthin to do email internet you know |
| 15:50.29 | Bor_Ed_ | can you give me what lspci tells for the VGA compatible controller? |
| 15:50.59 | brian_ | its busy installing the base system |
| 15:51.12 | Bor_Ed_ | alt+f2 and you've got another shell... |
| 15:52.09 | brian_ | busybox?? |
| 15:52.23 | Bor_Ed_ | it has multiple consoles... |
| 15:52.45 | brian_ | how do i get back to the install screen |
| 15:52.58 | Bor_Ed_ | alt+f1 or alt+f6 |
| 15:53.13 | brian_ | ok cool scared me there |
| 15:53.37 | brian_ | so multiple consoles? |
| 15:54.14 | Bor_Ed_ | normal linux runtime so it allows several consoles, yup |
| 15:54.28 | brian_ | ha cool |
| 15:59.58 | brian_ | i think i did it |
| 16:00.04 | brian_ | maybe i hope |
| 16:01.58 | brian_ | what it says ubuntu login |
| 16:02.05 | brian_ | i never set a login |
| 16:03.45 | Bor_Ed_ | console always requires login and afaik, ubuntu is happy with root login without pass during install |
| 16:05.19 | brian_ | login incorrect |
| 16:06.03 | Bor_Ed_ | you've passed install and now running from HD? |
| 16:06.35 | brian_ | ya it restarted |
| 16:06.55 | Bor_Ed_ | then use your user/pass you set during base install |
| 16:07.10 | brian_ | welcome to yaboot |
| 16:08.53 | brian_ | im about to just install leopard again this is pissin me off , |
| 16:10.05 | Bor_Ed_ | you might get better change with ubuntu on #ubuntu-ppc or #ubuntuppc or such, it differs somewhat from basic debian even though is based on same setup |
| 16:15.09 | *** part/#debianppc brian_ (n=chatzill@c-71-197-143-227.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) |
| 16:29.08 | pahartik | Bor_Ed_: That was strange user |
| 16:29.17 | Bor_Ed_ | more or less |
| 16:29.49 | Bor_Ed_ | I'd guess it was first time linux tryout... |
| 16:31.16 | Bor_Ed_ | though struggling myself currently on ubuntu too, as well as with ati/amd 2400pro adapter |
| 16:39.48 | pahartik | Bor_Ed_: I found out that on new Debian GNU/Linux install ("stable" 2009-06-28), "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" does not write settings to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf", "xdebconfigurator" was needed... |
| 16:41.43 | pahartik | Bor_Ed_: X11 server supposedly autodetects keyboard layout, but here it did not |
| 16:50.02 | Bor_Ed_ | dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg has worked for me... |
| 16:50.44 | Bor_Ed_ | I've got debian and ubuntu setups around |
| 16:50.50 | Bor_Ed_ | and soon DSL too |
